In pictures: Nasa's rover Opportunity's 9 years on the surface of Mars

This month, Opportunity is using cameras on its mast and tools on its robotic arm to investigate outcrops on the rim of Endeavour Crater, 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. Results from this area of the rim, called "Matijevic Hill," are providing information about a different, possibly older wet environment.Picture: NASA/ JPL
